THE MINOR
Students who exercise the Optional Minor in English may take one of two paths.
In consultation with the chairperson of the department, they may satisfy the Optional Minor with an emphasis in writing.
Students exercising this option should take nine hours of writing courses (excluding EN 101 and EN 300). Students may then wish to satisfy the remainder of their fifteen hours by choosing further writing courses or any suggested and appropriate literature courses.
Students may also choose to satisfy the Optional Minor in English through a sequence of appropriate literature and language courses. A suggested assemblage of courses, for example, would be EN 225 and/or EN 226; EN 330 and/or EN 331; EN 345; EN 360 and/or EN 361; other appropriate lower or upper division English courses. The department will allow the student, in consultation with the chairperson of the English Department, to assemble an effective grouping of courses.
